When I am using the live cd or dvd, and the session locks out after I leave it for a while. When I try and use the password I have created I always get a log in failure message. I have also tried the procedure mentioned in the manual regarding a lock out.

Is your password for the user or for root? How do you have created your password?

I created the password using the sudo passwd command.

"sudo passwd" without further arguments? Then you set a root password, but for wakeup you need a password for the normal user (I think it is sidux, but whoami in a terminal will tell) if you really need one.
